Sevinch Bazarova

Sevinch Bazarova’s work honors Uzbek and Tajik traditions with every stitch. Using techniques like naqqosh (pattern-making) and kashida (embroidery), her garments transform hand-selected fabrics into wearable pieces of history. Sourced from the bazaars of Urgut and crafted with intention, her creations celebrate family, heritage, and life’s most meaningful moments.
